You are not Broken: The Truth about Pelvic Floor Health

Your pelvic floor is a part of your root and core. Your core controls pressure, stability, and strength in the body. Your ribcage mobility makes a difference. Your hip position makes a difference. This is a WHOLE BODY system.
Sometimes women only think about the inner core and pelvic floor when they are having pain or leaking. We are just not taught much about it, unfortunately. Then these women seek help from a core/pelvic specialist and the new awareness about their own individual movement patterns and habits opens up all of these doors and interest. They start feeling improvement in other areas of their bodies or health. I call these “sneaky side effects”.
The truth: it’s never too late to make a change.
Since our inner core sits at the true center of our bodies and is closely integrated with our breathing patterns, restoring the natural flow and coordination of this pressure control system will better stabilize your spine/nervous system, can improve organ support and function, and can support the strength and alignment of the whole body.
What is the power that comes with re-connecting with and re-balancing your inner core?
Less pain
No more peeing your pants
Increased strength and power for movement
Improved access to the parasympathetic nervous system
A feeling of being more grounded and in control
Better digestion
Better posture
Less “poochy” belly
Better s3x (yep)
Supported organs that are lifted and loved
Support for birth and postpartum recovery
Strong pregnancy
Release of tension from hips/neck/shoulders/hips
Better breathing
This list could go on. If you know me, you know I absolutely love what I do and am a huge proponent of EVERYONE getting at least one evaluation from a core/pelvic specialist to learn this valuable information. I wish all women were shuttled into this aspect of the rehab system, especially after having a baby!
